Chapter 2372
Batman Green Lantern looked with satisfaction at the endless darkness where almost all the green lights had gone out, leaving only the point of light on his chest. He had long known that this move of his would be the nemesis of all Green Lanterns.
But just at this moment, he suddenly saw a flash of yellow light in the distant darkness.
To be precise, it looked like a pair of yellow vertical pupils, which were now visible as they blinked, neither fierce nor cruel, but rather with a childlike innocence and curiosity.
Batman Green Lantern flew toward the place where the yellow light was instantly.
"What's the situation?" Aisha, who had turned into Parallax, said while running with Barry and Harley, feeling very confused, "Has this guy never seen a Yellow Lantern demon? Doesn't he know that yellow light is the nemesis of green light?"
"I suspect he hasn't even left Earth." Harley grabbed tightly onto the spikes on Aisha's body, her long hair blown back. She said, "Most Batmen have the same tragedy. He probably got the Green Lantern ring at that time."
"And if nothing unexpected happens, he should have been immersed in fighting crime for the next few decades, and basically had no time to look at the universe."
"Then don't the Lantern Corps come to find him?"
"Earth is very remote. Maybe one or two came at first and were killed by him. You just saw it too; he can extinguish lantern rings, which can be said to be dead without proof. It is estimated that only after many people died did the Lantern Corps realize something was wrong, and then sent an army to investigate."
"Where are we leading him?" Barry asked again.
"Get out of the city first." Harley patted Aisha's horn and said, "Although Cat Getan City doesn't look like it has many living people left, it's better to find an open place first."
"I'll say it first." Aisha said, "I am a lantern beast, not a lantern hero. I need to merge with a host to exert the greatest power. This Batman Green Lantern, weak as he is, is not that easy to deal with."
"Can't you merge with the two of us?" Harley frowned slightly and said.
"I could, but the two of you don't count as the source of fear, so the power that can be exerted is limited."
"The best candidate wouldn't be..."
"Of course it's Batman." Aisha said, "The more traditional the better, or any kind that can bring fear to people will do."
Harley's eyes rolled knowingly, and then she said to Barry, "You and Aisha contain that guy behind. I'll sneak down in a moment and come back immediately."
"What are you going to do?"
"Of course, find a Batman to be the host."
Aisha carried Barry and ran wildly all the way, occasionally turning her head to spit out a large mass of yellow lantern energy to block Batman Green Lantern's advance. This was quite effective, because yellow lantern energy is indeed the nemesis of green light.
In principle, it's probably because fear is the most primitive and instinctive emotion of human beings, and the emotion that is easiest to crush human willpower, so it has a special effect on the green light that represents willpower.
From a practical point of view, the method the little blue men used to defend against Green Lanterns at that time was to paint their houses yellow. As the little blue men who single-handedly created the Lantern Corps chose to do so, it can be seen that it is useful.
The Batman Green Lantern behind obviously had never encountered such a thing. All the energy he possessed dissipated immediately upon touching that mysterious yellow light, as fragile as melting snow.
This only strengthened his idea of chasing after them. Nothing in this universe could stop him; he had to figure out who the other party was.
Because all his attention was fixed on the huge yellow figure running in front, he didn't notice that a small black shadow had jumped down long ago. After Harley got off the vehicle, she found a place where no one was around and began to draw an altar on the ground.
After a while, a huge magic circle lit up, a portal appeared suddenly, and a pitch-black figure walked out.
"Long time no see, Bruce, and you two, uh, what are those two tentacles called? Tita and Ande?"
"Ted and Anta." The little Bruce who appeared replied, "Why do you summon me every time that damn investigator wants to rush into my house?"
"It's not like there's an emergency." Harley laughed and greeted the tentacles behind little Bruce. A few years had passed, and both of them had grown from children into teenagers.
Because he gained Nyarlathotep's power, in a sense, he became his offspring. Little Bruce's temperament was different from most Batmen; he appeared pale, hollow, and carried a kind of melancholy.
"I heard that guy named Jerome is quite powerful." Harley laughed heartlessly and said, "I really didn't expect you to be chased like this by an insurance investigator."
"He really did chase out some useful things." Little Bruce put away his tentacles, landed, and said, "Some things have already happened before they happened."
Harley raised her eyebrows. She looked little Bruce up and down, and then said, "Are you trying to say that you were targeted by an Evil God before you met us?"
Little Bruce pursed his lips and walked forward, saying as he walked, "Alfred said that one night he saw a panicked black shadow standing by my bed, much earlier than meeting you."
"Can I tell the truth?" Harley walked side by side with him and said, "When I met you, you were a bit too irritable. Most Batmen aren't like that."
"I didn't feel anything unusual." Little Bruce looked up and scanned the gray sky and said, "But Jerome found a retired old priest. He was from my parents' generation."
"That priest said that Martha Wei En had come to him to pray when she was pregnant. She appeared very panicked and kept talking about her piety to God. The old priest thought she might have been troubled by a cult for a while, but I think it might not have been a cult, but an Evil God."
"Are you saying that Nyarlathotep targeted you when you were an embryo?"
"The problem is, it might not be him."
Harley appeared even more confused, but she still said, "We agreed that if you have trouble, we will help you, but this time you have to help us first."
"It seems you've encountered trouble you can't solve." Little Bruce sniffed and said, "There is a strange smell permeating this universe, rotting, withered, decaying..."
"If you're referring to Green Lantern energy, that's indeed the case. Very unfortunately, the Batman of this universe got a Green Lantern ring and broke the rules of the ring. He fell together with the Green Lantern energy."
"Not only that." Little Bruce shook his head and said, "I'm talking about the origin of the universe. This place is completely different from our universe. Its roots are unimaginably dark."
He turned his head to look at Harley and said, "What help do you want me to provide?"
"It's like this, Aisha... oh, Parallax needs a host, preferably someone who can bring fear..."
Harley roughly stated their plan. In fact, there was no plan; it was just using the rule that Aisha is the nemesis of Green Lantern energy, finding her a host, and directly attacking to beat this Batman down.
After hearing this series of plans, little Bruce said somewhat incredulously, "You intend to use this to deal with Batman? Do you believe he has at least two hundred contingency plans to deal with Parallax?"
"Is that so? Can you think of two hundred contingency plans now?"
Little Bruce was stunned. Harley snorted coldly and said, "Consider it you owe me one. Let's go."
On the way to the battlefield, little Bruce had been deep in thought. Then they saw a figure emitting gray-green light flying in mid-air fighting with a huge yellow monster. All the green energy dissipated without a trace upon contact with the yellow light.
Conversely, the yellow monster covered in spikes bit off one of the green wings with one bite, almost biting the arm of the green figure.
Little Bruce watched and saw something wrong. How could this Green Lantern with Bruce Wei En's face only have three moves in total?
The first move was to pull up and then dash, hitting the target with a fist flashing with green light. The second move was to release green lantern energy from the palm to bind the opponent. The third move was to wave his hand and summon countless monsters to attack the opponent together.
But the problem was that the core relied on by these three moves was all energy, whether it was fists, ropes, or monsters, all were composed of energy. But anyone with a discerning eye could see that this yellow monster could melt all green energy, and energy attacks were useless against him at all.
But little Bruce watched as this guy repeated the same set of moves five or six times, and intended to continue repeating it.
He couldn't help but press his forehead and said, "Are you sure he's Batman? Not some shapeshifter who can turn into Batman?"
"I'm sure he's Batman, but I speculate that he should have obtained this energy when he was very young, and there was no one around him who could guide him on how to use this energy, so he explored it all by feeling. This should be what he explored."
"But in any case, this is too..." Little Bruce finally didn't say the word "stupid," but he knew that no matter who looked at it, this way of fighting was stupid, rigid, and stiff.
Then he suddenly remembered the words "you owe me one" that Harley said to him, and little Bruce broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
He absolutely must not become like this. Little Bruce suddenly realized that when he first obtained Nyarlathotep's power, he just wanted to control this power and make it serve his own use.
But a few years had passed, and he had almost never studied this power, but only used this power to meet moves with moves, reverse Cat Getan's situation, and maintain a fragile order.
He faced too many troubles, so he always used this as an excuse, thinking about solving the trouble with power first. And to this day, he had become like a real Evil God, on the one hand using his power to transform the city, and on the other hand hiding from those who investigated.
No, no, that's not right, little Bruce thought. He was Batman, not some Evil God's offspring. If this power were gone, he would be nothing. So after these powers that didn't belong to him left, what else could he do?
"Aisha is also an energy creature. When she attaches to you as a host, she needs to partially swallow the power in your body, which will make you stronger when the two of you merge." Harley looked at him and said, "But that will make you weak, at least much weaker than you are now."
"Come on." Little Bruce took a deep breath and said, "If she can eat it all, that would be even better."
Harley immediately roared over there, and Barry, who had been hiding on Aisha's back, ran instantly.
Aisha roared, and three energy light balls forced Batman Green Lantern to the ground. The moment Barry touched him, he took him into the Speed Force.
Aisha took the opportunity to shrink, turned into a ray of sunlight, and drilled into little Bruce's body. Little Bruce let out a painful groan, because Aisha began to swallow the energy in his body. The two energies intertwined and entangled, producing pain as if his internal organs were being torn apart.
But soon huge energy was emitted. Little Bruce's eyes opened and shot out two yellow lasers. He soared into the air, and the moment Barry released Batman Green Lantern, he punched him on the chin.
Bang!
Everyone looked at Batman Green Lantern lying on the ground in disbelief. Harley smacked her lips and said, "I'm afraid there can't be a Batman more pathetic than him in this world, right?"
Aisha was stunned and said, "Don't say that, there really is."
Everyone looked at her in unison. Aisha shook her head and said, "But the most terrible thing isn't being stupid, but being both bad and stupid."
